Hi guys,
I took the GRE on 14th May, 2019 in India. This was my first attempt at the exam, and I must say the exam didn't go as expected (for the worse).
Scores:
OA - 320
VR - 161
QR - 159
AWA - Scores awaited, expecting 5+ out of a total of 6.
Mock Test Trackrecord:
(OA/VR/QR):
Powerprep 1 - (312/156/156)
Manhattan 1 - (320/162/158)
Manhattan 2 - (320/161/159)
Manhattan 3 - (320/162/158)
Exam Experience: The exam was unexpectedly lengthy, considering that no credible mock test series actually prepares you for the experimental section. I got VR as my experimental section.
The VR section was incredibly lengthy and, as Magoosh suggests, 'soporific'. Lengty RCs, complex vocabulary words made the section tough. Nothing in QR was unsolvable. My lack of conceptual clarity on certain topics such as inequalities and mods, statistics, and coordinate geometry led to my downfall.
I am re-attempting the test in July, and hoping for a 330+.
